this is not just about who president obama appoints to his cabinet. we know this country has changed demographically and a broad coalition of voters elected this president, but i think we should hold everybody accountable for making sure there's diversity. while i was disappointed to see thus far we haven't seen the kind of diversity i hope we will see when we see the full picture, i think there's a much bigger question and a much bigger issue here to which this president has been, you know, a champion of making sure that the doors are open for everybody. >> right. okay. goldie, the president's enemies, who aren't exactly famous for their love of diversity, are making a huge production out of this issue, but this president has done better or at least as well as his two immediately predecessors. he has a 50/50 split of men and women in his staff and he's appointed two women to the supreme court. doesn't that in itself regardless of the current presentation of the cabinet, doesn't that indicate a commitment to diversity? >> it certainly does, but, marti

president obama is like hitler and stalin. far right wing members of congress are already getting ready for a fight. congressman jeff duncan of south carolina said in a statement "we live in a republic, not a dictatorship." guests on fox news were in hysterics. >> if he does executives, he is becoming more like hugo chavez all the time. it will be your papers, please, like nazi germany. >> of course, it shouldn't be surprising to see all the right wing hair on fire. before president obama was reelected, the gun lobby told conservatives what to expect in a second term. >> all that first term lip service to gunowners is just part of a massive obama conspiracy to deceive voters and hide his true intentions to destroy the second amendment during his second term. >> according to the national rifle association, any attempt to achieve common sense gun legislation is a conspiracy to take away all guns. unfortunately, should i say fortunately, the common sense side of the debate is not backing around this time around. senate majority l
